Maratha warrior king Shivaji Bhonsle, better known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, was one of the great leaders in history. Shivaji Maharaj passed away on April 3, 1680, even though he is no more, his teachings and principals still exist. The ruler of Maharashtra is known for his battles as he defeated Mughals and established Maratha rule.

Shivaji is also known for not tolerating any violence against women. Severe punishments were given to those violating the rules in his kingdom. In fact, women of captured territories were released unharmed and treated with honour and integrity. On the 339th death anniversary of the valiant king, Twitter is pouring in tweets, saluting the great works of the emperor.
